0, which fits into a threaded bore of head a.

d d are thread or cable holes in head a, for attaching the button to the garment. The head a is convex on top, and thelower side of cap I) is concave, as shown, to embrace the convex 25 head. The curvature of the cap bis, however, less than that of the head, so that while the parts meet at their edges they are separated at their faces. In this way the head a will not be injured by the cap I).

I claim as my invention The combination of convex head a, having central bore and thread-holes, with the curved cap I), having pin 0, the curvature of cap b being less than that of head a, substantially as 35 specified.
